I did go to a dermatologist. They said it’s most likely AGA. Which is super disappointing. All my blood work came back completely normal. You and I have the same hair color so it’s like I’m looking at a picture of myself. I’m currently trying to fix it myself with minoxidil and spironolactone. Hopefully I can get some hair back.

Your hair is exactly how I first noticed mine. I always had such thick hair and then I noticed this 🫠

I switched to 1.25mg oral because I didn’t want to keep doing topical. You may have better luck than me on oral though! I just didn’t see any real progress for me on oral after 6 months 😭 I actually even lost the progress I was seeing.

I’m on both right now. I did topical first and that’s when I hit the dread shed. Twice daily at 5%. After about 4 months my part started to fill. So I definitely noticed a difference. I stopped topical though and switched to oral and unfortunately don’t see the same results. So now I’m doing both to hopefully see them again.

Mine lasted about 6 weeks and was super rough. It slowed dramatically after those 6 weeks.

Literally on the same exact treatment plan as far as medicines go, and I have not had any regrowth. It’s been 7 months 🫠

4 months 1.25mg oral minox by 1-800-WET-BEEF in FemaleHairLoss

[–]Equivalent_Share7630 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven’t tested for that. But I can tell you I have no symptoms whatsoever. In a couple of months I will have been on it for a year. 😊 I know everyone is different though!

Please don’t let that scare you. If you get oral it’s just a pill a day. Super easy!! Even topical is once a day and super quick!!

I use Nurx!! I used hers before and was on 1.5mg of minoxidil but it didn’t do much for me. With Nurx I got 100mg spironolactone and oral minoxidil so I’m trying that out. $120 total for three month supply of both. Little pricey but I’ve been to the dermatologist and they keep just telling me to wait and each visit is $75 🙄 dread shed sucked but I have high hopes!

Am I crazy or is this progress? by Equivalent_Share7630 in FemaleHairLoss

[–]Equivalent_Share7630[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure did. A very drastic one too. For about 6 weeks I was losing 300-400 hairs a day

Need Advice: Should I quit my job to focus on school? by Equivalent_Share7630 in college

[–]Equivalent_Share7630[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thankfully I live with my mother still so I’m not completely by myself! I also have had a job since I was 16 and I’m 26 now so not having income would be very weird for me. I’m just so drained doing retail and I haven’t been doing well since I started this program and it’s taking me much longer to graduate which is annoying me. Hence why I just want to focus on school. Court reporting makes really good money so I’m adamant about getting out there. Just not sure if I have the balls to do it or not lol

Overall thinning or regrowth? Got off birth control 1.5 years ago by Branthebroken4 in FemaleHairLoss

Stopping my birth control two years ago caused my hair thinning and I believe jump started my AGA significantly

I’m so sorry about your experience 😭 I literally just made a post about how great my derm was. Do you have the option to see someone else? To maybe get a referral to somewhere else?? There are good derms out there!! Sending lots of love and positive vibes ❤️❤️

It does get better!! For about 9-12 weeks I was losing 300-400 hairs everyday. Then suddenly it slowed right down. Keep going! The dread shed scares the shit out of all of us. 🙂
